Rethinking recovery timelines for robotic lung surgery patients

Are surgeons giving patients unrealistic expectations about recovery after robotic lung surgery? That's what CU Department of Surgery faculty member Robert Meguid, M.D., MPH, and surgery resident Adam Dyas, M.D., set out to discover after realizing the guidance they were offering patients might be based on outdated or anecdotal information.

MIT researchers develop new method to quickly screen cancer-associated genetic mutations

Tumors can carry mutations in hundreds of different genes, and each of those genes may be mutated in different ways - some mutations simply replace one DNA nucleotide with another, while others insert or delete larger sections of DNA.

AI method can predict brain metastasis in lung cancer patients

Physicians treating patients with early-stage lung cancer face a conundrum: choosing potentially helpful yet toxic therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy to knock out the cancer and lessen the risk of it spreading to the brain, or waiting to see if lung surgery alone proves sufficient.

New technique tracks blood sugar with light

Diabetes is a very prevalent disease that, unfortunately, still has no treatment. People with diabetes need to monitor their blood glucose levels (BGLs) regularly and administer insulin to keep them in check. In almost all cases, BGL measurements involve drawing blood from a fingertip through a finger prick. Since this procedure is painful, less invasive alternatives that leverage modern electronics are being actively researched worldwide.
